U.N. Warns Arms Bound for Libya Pose Terror Risk

“Current transfers to Libya are probably contributing to further onward proliferation of materiel,” the report released this weekend said. Such proliferation presents “a significant security challenge for other countries in the region, particularly from a terrorism perspective,” it added.

Libya, the classic example of the failure of U.S. foreign policy. U.S. intervention in support of overthrowing an existing government has lead to thousands of deaths, fractionalized the country, and created a base for terrorist groups throughout the region. The results of intervention entirely predictable to anyone with a limited knowledge of history. Regretfully, foreign policy is determined by those unqualified at anything other than raising money for reelection.
